Press owes apology for use of obscenity

In your coverage of the story about Rutgers men's basketball coach Mike Rice, who was fired Wednesday, the Asbury Park Press did something I could not believe I was reading ("Scarlet firestorm," April 3).

The paper used a quote attributed to Rice that included the "f word" in two different phrases. These words were spelled out for all to read. This was in an article on the front page of the sports section - a section read by 10-year-old children.

The Press owes an apology and an explanation to its readers and the community.
